FADE IN:

INT. SLEEPING ROOM - DAY

Waking up, KAJI gets out of bed while the PACK LEADER and PETER are still sleeping.

KAJI (V.O.)

They're still fast asleep.

Peter will wake up soon.

I just wait at the bed

corner.

Peter rolls over.

KAJI (V.O.)

Hey, I'm here! Open

the door for me please.

As Peter opens the door, Kaji goes out. Peter returns to bed.

INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY

Kaji looks around.

KAJI (V.O.)

Where's my maid?

Has she gone out?

Oh, she's on leave

today!

A beat.

Indistinct clock alarm sounds from the sleeping room.

KAJI (V.O.)

Yes, it's my meal time...

Kaji sees the pack leader coming out like a sleepwalker.

Having placed food in Kaji's meal bowl the sofa, the pack leader falls asleep on the sofa.

Having finished her meal, Kaji relaxes on the floor. She sees Peter coming out holding a smart phone.

KAJI (V.O.)

You want to take a

photo of me? That's

OK, I'm content.

FLASHBACK

INT. SITTING ROOM - NIGHT

Door bell sounds: "Ding Dong!"

KAJI

Woof! Woof! Woof...

KAJI (V.O.)

It's so early in the

evening...shouldn't

be the pack leader.

The MAID opens the door.

KAJI (V.O.)

It's that the gang

member who comes

once in a while. The

first thing he'd do is

to sit in the massage

chair.

The GANG MEMBER sits in the massage chair and presses the control buttons.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Although he doesn't

bring me anything to

eat, he pets me from

time to time.

A beat.

Door Bell sounds: "Ding Dong!"

KAJI

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Woof!

KAJI (V.O.)

Must be the pack

leader, she works

all day and nearly

all of the night!

As the maid opens the door, the pack leader enters.

KAJI (V.O.)

Oh, yes! she's back.

RETURN TO PRESENT

Having taken a photo of Kaji, Peter lies on the sofa. Immediately, Kaji jumps up on his chest and begins to lick his nose, lips and eye-lids affectionately.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)

He's the only one

who spoils me in

every way. He never

says no to anything I

want to do.

Then Kaji brings a stuffed sausage toy to Peter.

KAJI (V.O.)

Let's play the fetch

game!

Getting the toy, Peter throws it pretty near to Kaji. Kaji has no problem in grabbing or retrieving it. They play the fetch game again and again until Kaji doesn't want to play anymore.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I think there's every

reason for me to be

contented. I'm in a

loving family. The ones

I want are also the

ones who want me!

FADE OUT.

The End
